Students will be highly engaged from day one with an interactive slideshow connecting themselves to Mercy's world in Kenya. They will have the chance to explore several different maps at a deep level using standards-based questions and high-level conversation. Finally, students will compile their understanding of the nation using images, links, audio, video and more on the exciting tool called Museum Box.
Consider sharing your museum box with Mercy through the EFAC Blog. Also, send any advanced projects to EFAC DREAMS coordinators to be posted on our website!
Use the first two rows of this rubric while students present their museum box to the class. Assess the remaning portions of the rubric through student observation, oral assessment or have students use the reflection worksheet provided to take notes while others present their museum boxes.
Connect to the community by writing letters to local companies and explain the importance of educating people around the world.
